Advanced Laser Technologies for Efficient Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells.
Review in Nano-micro letters, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Laser processing has emerged as a critical enabling technology in the manufacturing of high-efficiency crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells. This review systematically examines the fundamental principles and applications of laser technology within the photovoltaic industry. It begins by analyzing the critical influence of laser parameters on the laser-material interaction mechanisms, which ultimately determine the processing quality and the extent of thermal damage. A concise historical overview traces the evolution of laser applications from early laboratory research to later large-scale production of crystalline silicon solar cells. The core of the review is dedicated to a detailed discussion of specific application domains: the utilization of laser thermal effects for doping, oxidation, and crystallization; laser patterning for creating selective emitters, opening passivation layers, and defining intricate structures; and the revolutionary role of lasers in advanced metallization techniques, notably laser pattern transfer printing and laser-assisted sintering. Finally, the review outlines future development trends, highlighting the potential of ultrafast lasers, their integration with novel tandem cell concepts, and the rise of smart, multi-functional stations to push the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of c-Si solar cells.
